Perfect Finds and Timing

I havn't been to Goodwill for a while, but stopped by the other day and found some great treasures. My favorite for this season are these fabulous silver goblets. I already have 6, so finding 4 more is a real treat.

Look at the price and then it was 25% off besides that. So 4 of these beauties for under $6.

I am doing two tables this year since we are having 14 for dinner. These silver goblets will be perfect for the table in the breakfastroom to give it a little bit of glitz. There will be 8 at this table and 6 at the one in the dining area.

Here's a little sneak peak at the dining table. Be sure and check back tomorrow for Table Top Tuesday to see more.

My second super find that I just LOVE, is this precious little farmer couple. See the chickens at their feet, how precious are they.

I thought they were perfect for now by the rooster lamp.

I have a real thing for farmer figurines. This is the first one I found, he doesn't have a wife, but I am looking.

He was my first farmer. He's resting in the bookcase for now.

This was my next little couple. I think these two are frenchy farmers. He's holding a basket of grapes and a bucket of milk. They look a little older and tired. Life has been hard on the farm.

They are living under my favorite cloche with one of my cows.

Always fun to stop by Goodwill and find such fun treasures. Have you found any goodies lately?

Again, I can't thank you enough for all of you that have purchased an elf ornament or made a donation through paypal for CK's Family Disneyland dream trip. To read the whole story check here. Everyone has been so generous and we are on our way to making this happen. Her son updated us on her FB page and she is improving in the area of the infection, however there have been a few set-backs in other areas. Still no idea when she might get to go home from the hospital. This last Chemo really knocked her for a loop. Prayers needed for the whole family and support with paypal and purchasing one of Laura's Elves. Thank you all so much.

Marty,Great Goodwill finds!!! We are not so fortunate in our Goodwill here, but they do carry a nice selection of hardback large print books that I pick up for my step~mother at a fraction of the cost from a bookstore!!! Your lovely farm couple is an exact match to mine! I adore them!!! Mine were purchased years ago from Home Interiors Party and sold for 19.99 each! Because I was the hostess, I used my points and paid much less for the pair! I adore them in the vignette with your rooster lamp! Your tables are gorgeous. The addition of silver goblets will make your guest feel even MORE special! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!!!Fondly,Pat

Marty, what an amazing deal on those silver goblets! Sure wish I had found those. Your farm couple is so pretty and looks perfect with your rooster lamp. Love the couple under the cloche with the cow. You're making me want to start collecting farmer figurines, and we all know I don't need another collection! laurie

Wow! What a great find! I haven't been to a Goodwill in sometime. It's always fun to see what turns up there. Lucky you to find those goblets. They will be such a nice touch to your holiday tables! Yay!!!

Hi Marty! Thank you for the update on Ceekay and keeping her in my prayers. Now your little GW finds are wonderful. Those goblets are so pretty and great you found them to add to your other ones. Love your little figurines too! You'll be cooking up a storm I'm sure! :)Be a sweetie,Shelia ;)

Wow! How lucky are you. You really found some treasures. I have a couple of the farmers, and I even have one without the husband. Maybe you have the husband and I have the wife. LOL. Great finds. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hugs, Karie

About Me

Hi, I'm Marty. Welcome, after years of living farther away from family, we got the keys to our new home on December 17th, 2016. Two weeks later we jumped in with both feet and the remodeling began. I hope you will follow along as I transform our "Builder Basic" house into a home that is a reflection of our family. Careful planning, tons of DIY and a sharp eye for design can turn any house into your dream even if you have a small budget.
